Land Use Policies Land Use Designations – Areas of Change
• Commercial ground floor: designated for the entire stretch of Woodbridge Avenue from Kipling Avenue to Islington, as per the WHCD
• Some intensification in Market Lane area:– at the northwest corner of Woodbridge Avenue
and Clarence Avenue; Medium Density Mixed Use, proposed High Density Mixed Use
– density range of 1-1.8 FSI, and height range max of 4-6 storeys permits some intensification in existing Market Lane piazza
NET proposed change = additional 181 residential units

• Low Rise Residential (2) is proposed to be extended to two lots south on the west side of Islington Avenue
• The lands north and south of Hartman Avenue have been proposed for re-designation from Low Density Residential to Low Rise Residential (2)
• Low Rise Residential (2) Designation is essentially the same as that of OPA 597 (height max. of 3.5 storeys, and max. FSI of 0.5). Density Bonusing will however permit an increased density to FSI of 1.0 if certain design and environmental protection criteria are provided
• Where OPA 597 had proposed intensification in the SPAs in south portion of Islington Avenue, the study now proposes to re-designate these lands back to Low Rise Residential
NET proposed change = a decrease of 123 residential units
OPA 597 – Slight Change
Community Benefits Available in Exchange for Density Bonusing:• shade awnings, green roofs,
energy efficient or LEED certified materials and measures, sustainable landscaping measures, publicly accessible courtyards and seating areas
Low Rise Residential (2)
